You're right. It's not actually tolerable. I just couldn't think of the right adjective, and I was trying to be gentle.

Better as follows?
This is tolerable fairly intuitive but inanely tedious for NY, NY. But it's less than ideal an irritating geography quiz for marketing hotels such as the Sheraton Charleston Airport in North Charleston, SC, ....
At least some of SPG's other similarly-organized promo pages present a list of properties before having to narrow things down to the city level. Some at least stop by letting you view the list at the state level.

Regardless, I would have thought that SPG would've figured out over the years which methods of organizing such searches work better than others. Some of these templates should have been retired long ago.
